On Saturday, January 15th, Molloy’s Model United Nations Club attended Saint Francis Prep’s “PrepMUNC XV” Model UN conference. The group of seven, consisting of Ryan Curran ’22, Sabrina Nagle ’22, Stutee Oke ’23, Madison Pena ’22, Lauren Soh ’22, George Stathopoulos ’23, and Justin Wang ’24, excelled at the conference, representing a diverse list of countries in both the General Assembly and United Nations Human Rights Council.
Some of the issues discussed were the HIV/Aids crisis, Syrian detention camps and the human rights abuses that occur within them, child labor for mining, and the illegal firearm trade. Out of the dozens of students from two other schools, Molloy’s very own senior Sabrina Nagle was honored as the “Best Delegate” in the Human Rights Council for her representation of the Philippines.
Saturday’s conference was the first one to be held in-person in two years, and the experience made the participating Stanners excited for the future of the club. Congratulations Model UN club and congratulations Sabrina!
